Washington (Nexstar)-The LGBTQ-specific part of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline was closed on Thursday according to a guideline of the Trump government, in which the critical criticism of legislators and lawyers for mental health who live the move that live people.

The Specialized LGBTQ+ line introduced in 2022 offered targeted support for individuals in the crisis and had used more than 1.2 million calls, texts and chats to raise their debut.

“There are more than a million of these moments when someone remember that it would be better if they were and they had someone to call,” said Rep. Sharice Davids (D-Kan.).

The Trump administration eliminated resources for diversity, equity and inclusion programs, including this crisis line.

“It was very successful,” said Rep. Paul Tonko (DN.Y.). “And President Trump has decided to put politics from being rescued from life.”

For the Trevor projects, around 40 percent of the LGBTQ youth were seriously a suicide last year. Those who have access to known psychological health services such as the 988 line were much less tried.

Even some Republicans like Rep. Mike Lawler (NY) ask the Ministry of Health and Human Services to restore the LGBTQ+ line.

“For me it is about saving life,” said Lawr. “It’s about suicide.

The legislator says that shutdown not only strips out critical mental support, but also sends a harmful message to endangered communities.

“Regardless of whether you are part of the LGBTQ community, whether someone in your family or you have friends, each one of us should agree,” Davids.

The legislator has sent a letter in which HS secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. immediately reverse the shutdown. The agency has now not announced any changes.
